Iran Plans New Maritime Exclusion Zone Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Rising Tensions
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei announced plans to establish a new exclusion or restricted maritime zone near the Strait of Hormuz, extending from the US naval blockade line into parts of the Persian Gulf. Ships entering this zone may face Iranian sanctions. Rezaei stated Iran would keep the strait open if the US ceases threats and attacks. The announcement follows recent US strikes on Iranian oil tankers and heightened tensions over shipping in this strategic waterway.
